You took the words out of my mouth... I replaced my headers (chronic exhaust leaks, too hot in engine bay) with exhaust manifolds last week (1), that led a power steering leak and repairing that (2), then needing to re-route my transmission cooler lines (3) - all within the week. Overall project went about $600 over budget. Oh, forgot... turned out the heat (from headers) fried the spark plug wire boots (I guess that makes 4), so I went ahead and ordered $120 spark plug wires (came in today actually, pretty sweet - overkill, but nice).

Hopefully it's not too serious and you can get it fixed. I guess one way to look at it is that it's our hobby, with some passion thrown in... and brings us piece of mind (these trucks are a nice escape from the other stresses in life).

Good luck on the repair.
